Dear Valiger,
There are several good sites to locate descendants from English
families who immigrated to Australia.
A collection of sites that deal with various aspects of Australian
families is available at Google Directories, at this category:
http://directory.google.com/Top/Regional/Oceania/Australia/Society_and_Culture/Genealogy/?tc=1
In that, you can find list of sites that deal with immigration to
Australia, including directories, ship logs, passenger lists, etc.:
http://directory.google.com/Top/Regional/Oceania/Australia/Society_and_Culture/Genealogy/Immigration/
The site in Google's directory are regarded as quiet good sources to
search in.
The Australian Government has a good site, too, that deals with
Australian families (and the places from which they descended). See:
www.nla.gov.au/oz/genelist.html
Another great resource is the genealogy newsgroups. There is one
newsgroup in Google group that specialises in Australian and New
Zealand families, Group: soc . genealogy . australia+nz - you can find
it at http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&group=soc.genealogy.australia%2Bnz.
It is very active and it is likely that searching it for the family
name you're looking for (or posting a message with a question to that
group regarding this family or its members) would benefit your
searches. Here you'll get answers from live people, also interested in
genealogy.
My search strategy might also assist you in your search. It was to
search for australia genealogy sites (with these key words), using
specialised keywords for descendants england (for example, looking for
the term "descendants from england").
I hope that answered your question. However, if you need
clarifications on the answer, please let me know before you rate it.
I'd be pleased to answer your question to your satisfaction. |
